4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper argues that the definitions of the effect predicates presented here, as well as the optionality or essentiallness of the roles , is a necessary part of the lexical semantics of the verb, which may rely heavily on real-world knowledge about launching Propellants, yet is still essentially lexical as evidenced by its being independent of the context. This in turn supports the claim that, while lexical information and real-world knowledge may share the same representation formalism, a distinction can still be maintained between information which is fundamentally lexical in nature, and information which is not.</Paragraph>
